A Los Angeles judge ruled Friday that California’s landmark law mandating that corporations diversify their boards with members from certain racial, ethnic or LGBT groups is unconstitutional.
From CBS5:
The measure requires publicly traded corporate boards to have a member from an “underrepresented community,” including LGBT, Black, Latino, Asian, Native American or Pacific Islander.
The ruling comes in response to a permanent injunction against the law, filed by conservative legal group Judicial Watch. The filing argued that the corporate diversity law violates the equal protection clause.
To recap – you can’t choose or refuse to hire someone on the basis of their race, ethnicity, gender or sexuality.
Imagine that.
The decision “declared unconstitutional one of the most blatant and significant attacks in the modern era on constitutional prohibitions against discrimination,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.

Oh oh. Not “lookin’ good” for the “diversity” crowd. LOL.
Why can’t the board members identify with a different race each day of the year to be more inclusive?
Isn’t one of the protected classes questioning? They all can be questioning what race they are.
of course it is!
ALL of these programs that discrimate to “help” some group are!
I read earlier some other city in California is giving money away but only to trans people!
WTH!
OF COURSE it’s unconstitutional. It’s also absurdly short sighted and, in a word, stupid.
Grabem nuisance: “Judges order? Don’t make us laugh. Bwahahahahaha!”
Don’t get your hopes up, I’m sure the state courts will overturn this ruling.
True. This is apparently just one Los Angeles judge, perhaps in a local court. This will be appealed up the line. Count on it.
What?
Calipornia couldn't Judge Shop this in front of some Commie Chinese Prog Marxist Judge?
They're slippin'.
California is unconstiturional and has a majority that is proud of it
would that have applied to the NBA teams players? If not… why not
“Oh oh. Not “lookin’ good” for the “diversity” crowd. LOL.”
The judges get to make that call, not us. And Biden continues to add judges.
The attempted law also violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as does every single hiring decision being made today on the basis of race, gender, etc.
Thank God for Judicial Watch. These guys are doing some great work.
Seems like a “chip shot” to sue the living bajeebus out of anyone that makes a hiring decision based on race, gender, etc. At least it “should” be, if our court system wasn’t so riddled with far left judges that seem to ignore little things like actual laws already on the books.
Why not add conservatives to the corporate boards?
THEY are an “underrepresented community.”
Many, many deviants just sit around making up stupid stuff to complain about. It’s all insane and it appears on FR in-sighting disgust from us old timers. just sayin’
Terry A. Green was the only candidate to file and won the position by default in 2020 when the election was canceled.
He was appointed to the Superior Court in 1995 by former Governor Pete Wilson.
I confess I’ve noticed the “personality” of the posting community has gone through a transformation since I joined in 1997.
